I Asked the Who What Wear UK Team What They Want to Buy for Spring—Here's What They Said

Through the grey days, we're beginning to see a sprinkle of sunshine that can only mean one thing: spring is on the way. Soon enough, bright sunshine, al fresco dinners and Saturday afternoons spent in pub gardens will be the norm. And we here at Who What Wear UK, we can't wait. The first signs of the new season are already showing at our favourite retailers, and in preparation, I'm giving you a sneak peek at the exciting new finds populating our editors' spring 2024 wish lists (including my own). Buckle in; it's a good one.

We're all adept at keeping up with the latest fashion and beauty trends, high-street drops and exclusive releases, often months before they hit the shelves. So it should come as no surprise that we've been clued up on the hottest spring arrivals since before Christmas. Ever since, our personal wish lists have been thoughtfully curated and added to every day, ready and waiting for the sun to break through. With decades of experience between us, we're able to discern the pieces that are fun for a trending moment vs. those that will earn their keep within a forever wardrobe. And as such, we're taking the new season as our chance to invest in chic yet timeless styles that you'll spot us in this year and for many springs to come.

Look out for investment bags that will serve as the perfect outfit companions, sunny-weather dresses for everything from office days to garden parties and some clever light layers that will come in handy as our coats go into storage. And of course, there's a smattering of jewellery to tie it all together. What's more, our beauty team has applied their expertise to compile the skincare, wellness and makeup items they're adding to their baskets. Each with our own individual styles, you might just find some of our wish list items making their way to yours, too.
